GAS-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,143, dated December 28, 1886.

Application filed March 30, 1886.

To all whom' it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES A. OUSHING,

of California, have invented an Improvement in Gas-Stoves; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same. I

. My invention relates to certain improvements in gas-stoves, such as are used for heating purposes; and it consists in the construction and combination of devices, all of which will be claimed and more fully described by reference to the accompanying drawings, .in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of the stove, showing a part of the top broken away. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken through the stove. Fig. 3 is a top View showing circular waterpipes. Fig. 4. is a vertical section of the same.

A is the exterior casing or body of the stove.

B is the oven, which is centrally" placed between the vtop and bottom, and O is a space which is devoted to roasting and broiling meats and similar articles.

D is the top of the stove, one portion of which has a rectangular opening made in it, as shown at E, with bars or supports extending partially across the opening shown at F. Beneath these bars are the burners G, which may be made circular or of other convenient shape, with jetopenings in series of one or two, as may be desired. These burners are preferably cast in a single hollow piece of brass or iron, with perforations or jet-openings, and are connected by couplings,nipples,or sockets, as shown. They are connected by pipes H with cocks upon the outside, as shown at I, for the connection with the pipes or tubes which bring the supply of gas to the burners. Above the burners G are water-pipes K, (see Figs. 3 and 4,)of similar shape and preferably of somewhat larger diameter, and water is circulated through these pipes,so as to be heated. The other portion of the top has openings J, for the reception of pots or other culinary ves sels, within which articles are to be cooked by boiling or steaming. Beneath this top is arranged a net-work of pipes, as shown at K, (see Fig. 2,) through which water circulates. Between and below these lines of. water-pipes Serial No. 197,226. (No model.)

which the gas may find its exit, and where it is ignited. Beneath this pipe is a space, in which is fitted a pan, L, having a wire meat support, M, which may be used for. toasting or broiling by the action of the heat from this same jet. By this arrangement articles may be cooked upon the top of the stove and upon the IflClLllI, while at the same time water .circulating through the pipes K may be kept suffihavingjet-openingsn upon each side, through v ciently hot for use. Below the oven B is a similar pipe, N, extending across through the space and having a similar arrangement of holes, through which the gas may pass and be ignited, as shown. tom of the oven B are arranged rows of waterpipes Ofextending"backward and forward throughout the whole width and length of the stove, so that the heat from the burning jetsof the gas-pipe N will serve to heat the water in the pipes O beneath the oven.

The roasting and broiling compartment 0 is formed with two sides and a back, as shown, so fittedas to slide into and fit the space beneath the oven, there being east-iron posts I? at the front, to which the sides are fitted. The sides have projecting ribs or ledges Q, upon which the pan B may rest, so as to support it at any desired distance below the flame and heat jets in the pipe N. This pan It is also provided with arack, S, upon which meats or other articles may be placed. This compartment 0, being fitted into the lower part of the stove, as shown, may be drawn out by releasing it from the button or locking device upon eash side, andcan thus be readily. and easily examined, cleaned, or repaired. The pipes O in the space beneath the oven may be connected by any well-known means with those shown at K and K in the space beneath the top of the stove, so that the Water which is partiallyheated while traversing one series of Close beneath the botroo Having thus described my invention, what I I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a gasstove having the holes or openings,as described, of a chamher or space beneath the top, the transverselyarranged water-pipes K,'tl1e gas-jet tube N immediately beneath said pipes, and a pan, L, in said chamber, having a wire support, M, arranged immediately below the jet tube, substantially as herein described.

2. The combination, with the casing A, having the lower cooking-compartment, G, and centrally-placed oven,B, of the transverse water-carrying tubes 0 beneath said oven, and the gasjet tube beneath the water tubes, whereby its heat is utilized for heating the water and cooking articles within the oven and lowercompartment, respectively, substantially as herein described.

3. The combination, with a gas-stove, of the lower cooking-compartment formed with two sides and a back, said compartment being fitted to slide within the space beneath the oven, and having the posts P,to which the sides are secured, substantially as herein described.

4. The combination, with agas-stove having holes or openings in its top, of the circular water-pipes suitably coupled, so that the water may traverse each of said pipes successively, and the circular tubular burners or rings, the heat fro n1 which acts upon the water-pipes and openings in the stove simultaneously, substantially as herein described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

CHARLES A. CUSHING.
